The Eastern Mediterranean, into which the EU has expanded more deeply through the accession of Cyprus, boarder on one of the most volatile and unstable regions in the world, namely the Middle East. The EU enlargement into the Eastern Mediterranean will inevitably have political as well as security ramifications for the broader regions. Power imbalances an security relationships in the broader Middle East have already been profoundly altered by the war in Iraq and the strong American presence in the area. The war has also had significant repercussions on transatlantic relation; it has brought to the fore differing assessments and policies between the US and members of the EU, particularly France and Germany. Such differences are most pronounced in policies towards what has been described as the Greater Middle East. They may yet also determine developments in the Eastern Mediterranean, particularly the uncertain relationship between the EU and Turkey. The evolution of that particularly relationship will undoubtedly influence security issues in the Eastern Mediterranean and beyond, a topic at the center of many contributions to this book. |
